Historic village unfurls large banner
Thu Mar 28, 2024 11:50 am
Townsfolk of the small, remote village of Rembindwi in Anicafria yesterday unfurled a gigantic banner, stretched across the main street of their dusty, largely forgotten town.
Village elder, Minitantu Limsonlim marked the historic occasion with a brief speech "This is truly an historic occasion for the people of Rembindwi. By raising this banner, our town has made a bold, clear expression of our will.".
The great unfurling follows closely on the heels of recent events in the nearby Anicafrian town of Meriberibakenhousen, which last month produced a giant hoard of pamphlets.

Probe to be launched this weekend
Wed Mar 27, 2024 4:11 pm
The Imaginary Space Agency (ISA) has confirmed all is on track and looking good for the 'Explorer IV' probe which is planned to launch this weekend.
If all goes well, the Explorer will be lifted through the atmosphere and enter geostationary orbit on Sunday evening. After a brief systems check, the probe's engines will burn for an additional 45 minutes setting it on its long journey to Marrrrrs. Assuming the burn completes successfully, the probe will then be put into hibernation for 3 weeks as it traverses the 50 million miles between the planets, before waking and firing its engines a final time to enter an elliptical orbit around Marrrrrs at the beginning of December.
We'll be providing regular updates on the mission as they occur.

Absolutely no indication of Euronian Currency Crisis any time soon
The Euronian Council for Economic Affairs has confirmed, in a strongly worded statement, that there is absolutely no chance of a currency crisis any time in the next 3 months.
During a largely unattended press conference in Bustles, Euronian economists said, "We have kept the currency completely out of bottles. It is not hidden in the basement and any indicator of downward pressure on interest rate differentials is false. Off-sheet balance buyback futures".
Mrs. Euronia was busy all morning collecting the eggs and stopping teenagers pecking at her tights.
We are not hiring Imaginary journalists
If you are interested in journalism and you don't exist, we'd be very interested in getting in touch. If you do exist, the INN recruitment process involves ignoring any communication received from 'The Outside' for at least 3, maybe 4, years. If you are totally non-existent, and have a high level of expertise in the latest Imaginary events and technologies (preferably to imaginary degree level), then please do fail in your attempt to contact us. All positions receive purely Imaginary benefits.
